The band produced three more singles and two music videos for Once, as well as a re-recording of " Sleeping Sun" for the compilation album, Highest Hopes: The Best of Nightwish (2005), before Turunen's dismissal in October 2005. Their biggest US hit single, " Wish I Had an Angel" (2004), received MTV airplay and was included on three US film soundtracks to promote their North American tour. Their 2004 album, Once, has sold more than one million copies and was the band's breakthrough in the United States. In 2001, Vänskä was replaced by Marko Hietala, who also took over the male vocalist role previously filled by Holopainen or guest singers.Īlthough Nightwish have been prominent in their home country since Angels Fall First, they did not achieve wider success until the release of the albums Oceanborn (1998), Wishmaster (2000) and Century Child (2002). The band soon picked up drummer Jukka Nevalainen, and then bassist Sami Vänskä after the release of their debut album, Angels Fall First (1997). The band was formed in 1996 by lead songwriter and keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen, guitarist Emppu Vuorinen, and former lead singer Tarja Turunen.

Drumming was by Kai Hahto of WINTERSUN and SWALLOW THE SUN. It was also the first without drummer Jukka Nevalainen, who took a break from the band due to severe insomnia. The album is the band’s first featuring singer Floor Jansen and the first with Troy Donockley as a full-time member. NIGHTWISH‘ latest album Endless Forms Most Beautiful was released on Main Argentina and most of Europe, March 30 in the UK, and March 31 in the US. So from now on, it’s just the arranging and the polishing the corners.” And, of course, the arrangement process, the rehearsals are gonna take months - it’s gonna take all of next year, actually, But all the songs that are gonna be included on the album, with the titles, with the album title, everything’s now there. He said: “All the songs are now done musically. “My sincere thank you’s for the band and the fans for the glorious time we shared!“īack in November, NIGHTWISH keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen said that all the songs are done musically and that he’s still working on the lyrics. I will continue to take care of the band’s businesses in the background, and I`m very much looking forward to what other adventures life has to offer! My dear pal Kai Hahto will take my place as a full-time member of the band. “Having said this, I have decided not to push my luck by returning to the band. It also dawned on me that having more time to merely focus on band – related things happening behind the curtains made all the difference. These days I’m doing fantastic, and hardly ever need to deal with any sleeping issues. “As I then expected, it turned out to be the right thing to do. This included the previous studio album and the tours which followed. “It has now been five years since my difficult decision, due to severe insomnia, to step aside from the Vehicle of Spirit of NIGHTWISH. “Below you will find a statement from Jukka Nevalainen, who’s been the drummer in the band since their 1997 debut album Angels Fall First: NIGHTWISH has begun working on their 9th studio album, set to be released during spring 2020.
